Flag of Kenya

[1] In the years following World War II, the Kenya African Union was created and introduced a flag on September 3, 1951, which was a black and red bicolour with a shield and arrow at its centre.

The next year it was altered into a black, red and the additional green tricolour with a shield crossed with a spear and arrow coupled with the initials "KAU" at its centre.

The black stood for the native people, red for the common blood of all humanity and green for the nation's fertile land.

The flag was later adopted by the Kenya African National Union (KANU), successor to the KAU, in May 1960 with the weapons being replaced with a rooster wielding a battle axe.

[3]The 2010 revised edition of the Constitution of Kenya includes specifications of the Kenyan flag, located in the Second Schedule, Article 9, paragraph 6.2.
